This pencil is a great value, it's longer than normal brow pencils....about the length of a wet and wild eyeliner pencil. The hard formula does not wear down quickly. It applies well and is easily...

This is the best eyebrow pencil for dark brows! I use Stone Grey and it doesn't pull red/warm at all and blends in with the color of my brows without looking stark black. The best thing about this...

HG ... absolutely HG. Amazing brow pencil. Last for 3 years. (Yea, one pencil last for 3 years, and I do makeup everyday.) Money is not an object cause it's worth very penny. Enough saying.
